Gray Out, Hill Steps Up for Titans | NFL News

0:00On September 8th, the Tennessee Titans are gearing up for their season opener, and the buzz is real. This is the first real test under new leadership, and fans are expecting to see some serious progress. The team has been putting in the work, but a recent incident has thrown a wrench in the plans. Veteran linebacker Cedric Gray was reportedly involved in a UTV accident over the weekend. He sustained a concussion in some other minor injuries. This means he's now in concussion protocol, and his availability for the upcoming game against the Jets is uncertain. This is a tough break, especially with the season about to kick off. Gray is the key player for the Titans defense, and his absence would be felt. The team released a statement, wishing him a speedy recovery, and looking forward to his return once he's cleared. If Gray can't go, the responsibility will likely fall on rookie linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. Hill has been impressive during training camp, and the preseason, even snagging an interception against the Seahawks. He was a second-round pick, and the team clearly had plans for him.

1:02This unexpected situation could be a huge opportunity for Hill to step up and prove himself early in his NFL career. While it might not have been the exact path they envisioned, starting the season at home against the Jets is a pretty good spot for a rookie to make, his mark.
